http://collider.com/james-gunns-firing-guardians-of-the-galaxy/ It gives the message that concepts like betterment and learning are futile because the sins of your past are an immovable weight that only gets heavier the harder you climb. Strange, from a monolith like Disney, which has worked tirele...

. Contrast against, say, Rose from the Last Jedi. I'm not overly fond of the role the script gave her, but any failings are clearly baked into the script, not her individual performance, so it seems a bit harsh for folks to be beating up on her online. I'd say the same for Hayden Christensen. He ca...

As for Solo itself I thought it was good enough. The action was exciting, the jokes worked. It hit all the nostalgic notes but was still original and creative and subverted some expectations. I would happily watch again. I still don't think Alden was the right choice, so I'm opening a kickst...

It only just now occurs to me that Thanos actually went backwards because of Loki's exploits on Earth. He gave Loki the scepter containing the Mind Stone so that he could fetch the Space Stone. Loki failed to secure the latter and lost the former! Given Ebony Maw's comments about there being consequ...

Apparently there is a lot of dissatisfaction with the subtitles in South Korea, which were so inaccurate as to be a distraction. https://metro.co.uk/2018/04/28/korean-moviegoers-complain-of-mistranslation-of-avengers-dialogue-7504548/?ito=cbshare But the mistranslation is angering Koreans so much th...

I'm not much of a Star Wars fan in general but Boba Fett's popularity in particular has always been a complete mystery to me. How did some faceless dude with not even five minutes of screentime before his ignoble death become so interesting to the fans? Fair points, he's not all that. I think the m...

Okay, so buckle up. This thing's happening. The script has been started already: James Mangold will write and direct. Given that this is the anthology film that is furthest advanced, it seems likely that this will be the third anthology film, with a 2020 release. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/he...

I mean ... I don't think anyone would be fooled for a second by a claim that MC Hammer was 40. That would mean he was 11 when U Can't Touch This came out. I haven't thought about MCH for a long time but if you'd asked me to estimate his age, I'd have said he seemed about 30 when U Can't Touch This c...

Some wag has pointed out that in Doctor Strange, the Ancient One made it clear she could not see the future past her own death. Strange sees 14 million futures including one in which the good guys win: clearly, seeing towards some point beyond the end of this movie.Inferences may be drawn.

I thought that perhaps the fact that the release of this movie in China was delayed a couple of weeks might hurt its revenue (due to piracy and spoilers and so forth), but lo and behold, the opening in China was ridicballs, making around 200 million USD in its opening weekend. It would appear the fi...

Your point about religion is absolute hateful bullshit. As for smart people sometimes doing dumb or bad things? Sure. This was a bit over the top. I should have been more precise, I made an assumption that you would get my point. There are smart people that believe women should always be subservien...

One way they could bring Kevin Bacon in is if it turned out that Johann Schmidt is Klaus Schmidt's brother in the Red Skull Origins: A Marvel Story. This would also be the way to bring the Mutants into the MCU.

There are a couple of references to Kevin Bacon in A:IW that seemed cute at the time, maybe a bit out of place, but I now think they are likely references to the effect that the movie will have on the average Bacon Number. —- AYPK, an actor’s Bacon Number is the minimum number of “links” (ie instanc...

I agree that the motivation behind Thanos's plan was a bit silly, but that aside, as a friend on Facebook pointed out, the narrative has a standard three act structure if you see it as a movie about him rather than about everyoneelseatonce which is apparently how some critics watched it. Solid poin...

I'm going to go early and make some predictions for Avengers Four: Electric Boogolor. The title will be Avengers: Endgame . The situation will be that half of the heroes have been swept away to a separate parallel universe. eg Spider-man, Mantis and Dr Strange etc find themselves still on the planet...

I don't recall Thanos' intention being spoiled by the official trailers, but I've seen it pretty much spelled out on various promotional clips, both online and on television. To be honest, I find it kind of cheesy the way they attempted to make him somehow more sympathetic via the whole "great...

Would you mind spoilering Thanos' plan as well? I don't believe that was described in the trailers, at least I didn't know this. . Oh okay, done. Some other points: So many beards now. Falcoln has a cool beard, Rogers has a full beard, Star Lord has kind of a beard. I didn't see any trailers or rea...

Well then. This movie was ridiculously overstuffed but somehow I didn't feel drained or annoyed. Everyone has some kind of meaningful role. It never felt like "oh yeah I'm in this too". It all basically made sense within the usual extent of suspension of disbelief, which is saying somethin...

I'm only just watching LC now. I kind of missed a lot of shows: systematically catching up on all the MCU TV series. What is the deal with Alfre Woodard playing two different characters in the MCU? I can tolerate different actors playing one character. Shit happens, negotiations fall through. It's j...

So Disney are going to obtain the rights to the X-men and Fantastic Four. The vloggers have been busy discussing how to incorporate these into the MCU. To my mind, it's possible to introduce the FF, as their origin story can be commenced at any time. Whether or not they should do this is another mat...

Non-spoiler comments: Good story, lots of fun, fine performances, funny jokes, exciting action. They did a good job of being non-specific about ethnicity, by including dress-styles and body art of several different parts of Africa. This is accounted for when they give a brief history of Wakanda. Spo...

An incredible 93 per cent of critics loved ...

See, this is pretty weird. Drones are not super important to the plot. It feels as if they sort of shoehorned in some kind of commentary on politics or something Well right, it's presented as an example. However well intentioned, US military hegemony has a moral cost. The scene as shown doesn't app...

Okay, okay. I'm not unaware that there are people who say BvS and did not like it. But most of its audience did like it, (about 63% per rotten tomatoes) and I' happen to be with the majority on this one, lucky me. I've watched it about six times, could stand to see it again, and I'm not a major rewa...

If you're going to include the Holiday Special, then why not put in Caravan of Courage and The Battle For Endor? The latter has Wilford Brimley and Johnny Weismuller Junior! I appear to have answered my own question.
